Announce: WLUG Meeting Wed 6/13 7PM: Secure Virtual Containers/Multi-Tenancy

by Chuck Anderson

Hi folks, The next Worcester Linux Users' Group (WLUG) monthly meeting will be held next Wednesday, June 13, at 7PM. The location will be the WPI Campus Center, Chairman's Room (room 129). Wednesday, June 13, 7:00 - 9:00 PM WPI Campus Center, Chairman's Room (room 129) Dan Walsh of Red Hat will be giving a presentation on Secure Virtual Containers/Multi-Tenancy: "During the Last few years as computers have become more powerful, there has been a move towards server computing. Most people call this "Cloud" computing. One key feature of this is moving servers out of the data center and onto virtual machines. My presentation will describe this as Multitenancy.. This talk will cover technologies from RHEL5, RHEL6 and RHEL7. SELinux, Virtualization, Sandbox and Secure Container Applications." Afterwards, we will go out for pizza and continue our discussions. See you there, Chuck President, Worcester Linux Users' Group

Re: [Wlug] USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected

by E Johnson

Thanks for answering on this nice weekend. The keyboard was getting a little cruddy; I took the faceplate off I cleaned it, sprayed it with air from various angles until no more debris flew out. Messages in /var/log/messages so far shows it being unplugged twice (the keyboard itself + its USB hub). Shows it being plugged in, identified (twice), configuration chosen, etc. Two-hundreths of a second later, it disconnected and repeated the same sequence again. Then it seemed to settle down. This is an Aurora keyboard made by Enermax, the model without the number pad, no longer being manufactured. http://www.enermax.com.tw/files/ProductFile_eng/PF_File/65.pdf Size and shape and feel of a laptop keyboard. It's not plastic, it's very quiet, and it fits in my lap. It's definitely the wire. I can reproduce the problem, or cure it, by moving the wire. I run my keyboard in my lap; have run all keyboards this way for years. It's starting to look like every time I set the keyboard aside & get up, the wire wiggles just enough to seem to unplug, then plug in again. The weird thing is, the wire, although it moves when I move, seems fairly secure. It has a nice rubber boot thing that seems to hold it place as it runs through the hole in the case. Inside, the little circuit board that the wire runs into looks okay, connections look okay, capacitors look happy, etc. But the circuit board itself seems to be able to move a little bit. Maybe something is grounding out every once in a while. The back of the keyboard feels a little warm just where that circuit board is. Guess I'll take it apart again later & see if stabilizing or insulating the circuit board is possible, and if so, if it helps.

Re: [Wlug] USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected

by kstratton＠fastmail.us

Glad you resolved your issue. If all the devices are USB compliant, there should be no issue but I was under the incorrect impression that the computer had some years on it and was working correctly earlier. Linux generally does not magically deconfigure itself which left hardware issues. At risk of sounding way too obvious: If moderate wiggling the harness near the keyboard causes problems and the keyboard is something special, I would consider re-doing the connection between the keyboard and the USB wire (will need soldering and disassembly of the keyboard). There is very likely a wire to the keyboard broken at a mechanical stress point near the keyboard . This will shorten the wire to the keyboard several inches. Although there is information about a maximum legnth, I do not recall anything in the USB specification that specifically states that the harness has to be a specific legnth (no shorter and no longer than). This is a somewhat risky procedure, so I would proceed only where confident. It is also possible the problem is as simple a connector pulling out of a circuit board, but I doubt that that is the case. On Sat, May 26, 2012, at 01:59 PM, E Johnson wrote: Oh, interesting.

Hope someone here has run across this issue & has found a way to solve it. I can't crawl under the table umpteen times/day to plug in a USB cable. Very frustratiing problem. Sample of error messages is below here. Ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Wlug] USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected

by E Johnson

Oh, interesting. Never thought of that. I had plugged in: One USB headset one USB keyboard one USB mouse, connected via USB extension cable one USB connector for the scanner (which was not connected to the scanner, just laying there) I think that's about it. The keyboard has 2 USB ports which I never use. (had problem even before this keyboard existed) I think the keyboard shows up twice in lsusb because it has 2 USB ports. Have been running on the new computer 4 hours now, moving stuff to the new hard drive, & the problem migrated here --it's 99% probably the keyboard. If I wiggle the wire where it enters the keyboard, the keyboard stops or starts working. The error messages, which appeared on several different sets of hardware & peripherals, 3 diifferent operating systems, also are appearing in this new computer. I guess the rror messages are a separate issue --a red herring. Too bad; I really, really like this keyboard, but they don't make this model any more. I guess it's Solved, or sorted out, anyway. 1) Need keyboard; 2) deal with error messages another time. Thanks very much!

Re: [Wlug] USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected

by kstratton＠fastmail.us

I am not an expert on USB or linux for that matter, although I am currently trying to grop the USB spec so that I can develop a USB devce to attach to the bus. >From what I am looking at, it looks liks you are loosing and reconnecting much more than just you keyboard. Do you have many USB powered devices plugged in the motherboard? Is it possible to move them on to a powered USB hub? Doing this would reduce the load on the 5V supplied by the USB connectors. This is really a shot in the dark and is somthing I would try only if I had a USB hub laying around.

USB disconnect; problem with keyboard being disconnected

by E Johnson

We have a problem here with keyboard being disconnected many times/day. If I unplug the USB connector, then plug it in again, this works some of the time, but not always. If re-plugging it in does not work, then if I plug in the keyboard at a different port, it sometimes starts working again, but not always. The front USB ports seem a little stretched out; sometimes wiggling the connector temporarily fixes the problem, but not always. The back USB connectors seem nice & snug, but the problem does also happen when plugged in back there. This is output of lsusb: Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 007: ID 046d:c062 Logitech, Inc.

Sometimes the keyboard works normally for many days, then this disconnecting problem crops again, seemingly random. I can't identify a specific reason why this starts happening, or stops happening. But it's becoming more frequent now. I am not finding a solution in the forums (or maybe I am not searching with the right terms). I am getting zillions of repetitive error messages, a small sample of which is pasted here below. I had these same kind of messages since several years ago, on a different computer (different processor, mobo, case, mouse, keyboard & all) running an earlier version of my OS (Debian). I get similar messages here in a different computer, different keyboard & mouse, running Debian Squeeze. This computer is running Debian Lenny. It is soon to be retired since I just built a brand-new one, but can't retire it until I migrate a whole lot of files to the new one & do some tweaking & installing various apps. Hope someone here has run across this issue & has found a way to solve it. I can't crawl under the table umpteen times/day to plug in a USB cable. Very frustratiing problem.

Re: [Wlug] list filenames within directory > output to text file?

by E Johnson

Yes, the ls command did deliver me a list of files in the directory, sorted by filename. I was working from within the directory when I issued the command but it probably doesn't matter.
